Banana Pecan Pancakes
Diane W.

Came here with a friend who is local. I grew up on Long Island, so I definitely appreciate a good Greek diner, athis place was it. We came for a late lunch, so it wasn't too busy and we were quickly seated. Elizabeth was our server, and she was great, very attentive and I've never said this before in a review, but really pretty ( forgive my unprofessional comment). Anyway, my friend ordered her favorite here, banana pecan pancakes. They looked amazing and the bite I had was amazing! I ordered the vegetarian platter because I couldn't decide on having just spanakopita. It was delicious, especially the dolmades ( stuffed grape leaves). The spanakopita was flakey and yummy, and I devoured the entire meal ( except for the onions). My husband got the chicken souvlaki and it too was delicious ( needed to get some more protein). There were plenty of dessert options, but we were too full. They also have a loyalty program. Would definitely return if I am back in the area.

Bacon, Avocado, Tomato and Cheese Sandwich Breakfast.  Delicious
Richard A.

Came here for breakfast and had it with the corn beef hash. The hash was so good. I could have made a meal just on the hash. Large helpings of food for a reasonable price. Good service and plenty of parking.

I was looking for a place with good breakfast options and this diner came out in my list. I'm not a fan of diners but this place makes me realize how good food can be if it's made with good quality. We arrived to the restaurant in the morning and already have some people eating there. We started with some coffee and the quality of the coffee was excellent. Then we ordered some omelets and pancakes. The omelets were delicious and the pancakes super fluffy. Our omelets came with a lots of ingredients. Our waiter was very nice and helpful. We noticed that they have a good selection of pastries that we could not try but they all look delicious.

Perfect cappuccino
Jessica G.

Just look at that cappuccino! It really is perfect lol. This place is cash only, however goto the ATM and get extra money just in case. The menu is large and delicious!

Turkey and watered mash potatoes from the wet corn they dumped on top  instead of using a separate container ,
John F.

Ordered the turkey dinner, it came in a small cheap tinfoil container with everything mixed together . Smeared , , the turkey the mash potatoes were covered in corn carrots , the stuffing soaked from the wet corn / carrot veggies , they dumped on top of the meal , instead of using a small seoerate container for the watery corn never again from here

Dining room

What a great experience. It's a busy Sunday morning and it's packed, but our host seated us promptly and our server was a wonderful and gracious woman with great sense of humor. The extensive menu made it difficult to choose but a Tito's bloody Mary got us on the road to eggs Benedict and a.Jess bowl, filled with brown rice, avocado, tomato and a couple of poached (to perfection) eggs. I'm not sure which was better.. There is plenty of seating, spacious dining. You don't feel cramped like you can in cute bistros.

Hashbrowns
Vivian H.

The Parthenon is pretty solid. Got takeout recently as the diner closest to us really has gone down hill and wanted some diner food. I had my usual BEC and home fries. The BEC was great! Two eggs too! Homefries were shredded hasbrowns which was a nice change! My finance had pancakes bacon and an English muffin and enjoyed his meal too.

A very nice diner with a full bar. We were greeted right away, and taken to our booth. Our server was a little aggressive with the way he spoke to us, but he was like that even with his regulars. He didn't make eye contact at any point. I had probably what I consider the best corned beef hash in all of CT! Perfectly seasoned, and crispy! The one thing about the diners here in CT, is that they give a LOT of food! Throughout our meal our server redeemed himself as I listened to him interact with his other customers. They must really like him there. He even started to be friendly with us. That is ... until the end ... I would have left 5 stars, but I took one away when he reached over my food (I was still picking at it) to grab his tip. You never reach over to grab your tip. We took that as a hint to leave, so we did. The food is great. We'll be in the area all summer for work, and will most definitely be back.

Not a particularly good cappuccino.  But also i wasn't expecting a particularly good cappuccino...

Classic diner fare with a Greek twist. I take frequent drives between MA and New Haven and this is a go-to place to stop for a late dinner.

When I walked in I felt like I stepped back into time. It was like walking into an old train car…read more They had the guy cooking right behind the long counter. Immediately I went on the Yelp app to see the reviews and mostly all of them were positive except quite a few people complained about how long they waited for their food. Well, they were legitimate complaints. Me and my wife waited roughly 45 - 50 minutes for 2 egg platters. The part that upset me was the people that walked in after us and sat at the counter were served before us. Basically the cook (owner) served his normal customers first. If it wasn't for the long wait time I would've easily scored Bob's 5 stars but 45 - 50 minutes for eggs will deter me from going back.

This place is so legit and I'd love to come back! Where to start? It looks like a tiny wooden…read moreshack from outside. e got there around 9 am on a Sunday and there was lots of seating available. The view as you can see from the photo is lovely, and you can see the commuter rail when it occasionally comes through. There is also a police station next door so you get a Birds Eye view when officers are getting off shift. Pancakes here are so good. I'd say 98% of breakfast places have pancakes that disappoint but not these. Since I wasn't sure, I let the kids order them instead since they will eat anything as long as there is maple syrup on it. We ordered them a short stack of blueberry pancakes to share and added on real maple syrup. They were golden and not too thick or heavy. They had to pay the "mom tax" of sharing some with me. My husband ordered eggs, home fries and bacon and the bacon was also perfectly done- something else that we don't often find. This place is charming, there was what sounded like some 80s post-punk playing softly, our server was charming (French accented too perhaps?) and we hope to be back some day!

Just moved up to Connecticut from Florida and had to find a new breakfast spot... and wow, Norms…read moreDiner absolutely blew me away. Hands down the best breakfast I've ever had -- and I don't say that lightly. Everything was fresh, cooked perfectly, and you can tell they actually care about quality. The portions were great, the vibe was classic diner comfort, and the service made it even better. If you're anywhere nearby, this place is 100% worth it. Definitely my new go-to spot. Also , Steven the owner is amazing.

I do love a diner. I think it goes back to being a kid and spinning around on one of those counter…read moreseats while the cook chatted up my mom. :D Whatever the reason, I am always on the look out for a true diner experience and Norm's has it. The parking lot is 'smallish' on the right side of the building and flows right to left in one direction, so be sure to look for the 'enter' sign. There are three steps up into the diner so be aware of that if you have difficulty using steps. Also, the restroom is tiny: like so small the sink is about a foot long by half as much wide, small. We stop in here on our trips out to Groton. Last visit we stopped for a late breakfast/early lunch. I ordered a coffee and it came in a nice big mug and is a mellow blend with a smooth finish. There are photo descriptions on the table of what your eggs will look like based on how you order it, so no surprises. What a great idea. The table holds napkins, hot sauces, salt & pepper, jellies, creamer and sugars. The staff are pleasant. Some are more chatty than others. There are definitely some regulars here each time we visit. The menu has lots of breakfast options but there are no substitutions so you may need to order al a carte or get a different 'meal' option and add-on an item. Just a heads up. They have plenty of toast options including English muffins. The lunch menu is a variety of sandwiches and burgers. Fries are tasty. Lettuce and tomato on your sandwiches are fresh. I can't think of a single disappointment we've had here. If you are in the area and enjoy a nice diner experience, stop in to Norm's.

Post Road is always reliable divas. She always gets the damn job done. Love her. There's literally…read moreso many options on the menu theres something for everyone. And the ambience, girl. Just yes.

"I'll go back to the diner I'll write another letter…read moreI hope you'll read it this time" (Billie Eilish) I kind of laughed when our server brought over our menus. They were in a heavy book (reminded me of a high school yearbook) with six pages of choices plus an insert of daily specials. Post Road is the kind of diner that diner lovers dream of. Their menu is an embarrassment of riches and would seamlessly fit in alongside anything you would find on the Sunrise Highway on Long Island or on Route 17 in New Jersey. Three of us walked in around 11:30am today, and our first order of business was deciding if we'd go for lunch or breakfast food. We all went for breakfast plates- pancakes ($9.99) with a side of scrambled eggs ($2.99), GF Pancakes ($12.98), and for me a "Protein Breakfast" ($13.99) and a coffee ($3.49). So, I'm sure you're asking, "what on earth is a protein breakfast?' Well, it was four egg whites, a few gorgeous tomato slices, and a nice piece of grilled chicken. It was pretty filling and everything tasted great. Our server was efficient and professional and swiftly brought over a "to go" box for the excess of those enormous pancakes. The dining room is awesome, a real throwback to the 1950's with plenty of old-time booths, art deco neon signs, checkerboard ceramic tile, and music\entertainment\pop culture images everywhere. We really enjoyed our visit !
